The Milky Way in Time-Lapse Video

in Science | March 8th, 2010 Leave a Comment

This humbling footage of the Milky Way was filmed on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the same location that recently gave us footage of stars orbiting a black hole. This is, of course, not a coincidence. Mauna Kea hosts the world’s largest observatory for optical, infrared, and submillimeter astronomy. Thanks Robert for sending this our way.
